WEDDING MUSINGS

Congratulations to Valerie and Travis! Recently, Sherri and I were in Texas to attend the beautiful wedding of her niece Valerie. I began to reminisce during the wedding proceedings.  

One of Sherri’s nephews, Trent, who is now a pastor, conducted the ceremony. My mind went back to the years when Trent, Val, and the other cousins were growing up. They are near the age of our two children. Every Christmas there would be a family gathering and the cousins would be together. Watching them play and do “cousin-things” I never dreamed then what I was witnessing the afternoon of the wedding.

Here are two of the cousins who once played with all the other cousins…one is getting married and the other is performing the ceremony. Sherri and I were very proud of both of them.

How proud of His “kids” our Lord must be. He loves all of them with an everlasting love.

I conclude with a question. What about all the other “cousins” who haven’t come home yet? They are family too.
